Finnish language - Classification
Finnish is a member of the Finno-Ugric branch of the Uralic language family (which also includes Hungarian). Finnish is a synthetic language of the agglutinative type. Some fusion is found in spoken Finnish. It modifies noun and verb forms depending on their role in the sentence.
Among the grammatical features that demonstrate Finnish's affiliation with the Finno-Ugric Languages are: 1) absence of grammatical gender (the same Finnish pronoun hän denotes both he and she), 2) absence of articles ("a" and "the" in English), 3) long words due to the structure of the language, 4) numerous grammatical cases, 5) personal possession expressed with suffixes, 6) postpositions in addition to prepositions, and 7) no equivalent of the verb "to have."
There are various theories about the time and place where Finno-Ugric originated; according to the most recent theory Hungarian and Finnish are divided by 6000 years of separate development.
Speakers of a Finno-Ugrian language have been living in the region of current Finland since at least 3000 BC. Finnish borrowed several words from other Finnic languages such as Vepsian, Vote and Lude. Some grammatical features were also borrowed. More recently, Finnish has borrowed from Swedish and the other Germanic languages.
